Thank goodness it's Friday! I am taking a half day at work today since I am leaving for Las Vegas to start the fun! So I most likely won't post until I get back (on Sunday).

I just placed an order for some mineral foundation samples with Buff'd Cosmetics and again with Joppa Minerals in search of the perfect or somewhat close to the perfect shade of foundation. I still love Silk Naturals, but I just want to venture out again and find a foundation where no mixing is needed.

So far I LOVE the coverage of the Joppa Minerals (thanks Moi!) although the first samples I got were a tad bit TOO light. I like Fyrinnae's, but in the middle of the day, the Superpower foundation became kinda chalky on my forehead and I hated it. So I ordered the regular foundation since I don't need that much coverage to begin with, and also got two of their finishes to see which one I might like better: sheer and matte.

So now I am trying a few other foundations from companies I haven't ordered from in awhile just to get back into the groove of picking the "closest one". I think Joppa might just be the winner, but we'll see!

In this "Black Ore FOTD", I wore Joppa's Mineral Foundation in "Medium Light #2", and as you can see, it was TOO light on me. But makeup is all about trial and error! :)

Anyways, here is my look using the Black Ore pigment from MAC's newest collection. It was very easy and simple to do and it's a GORGEOUS color! A nice shimmery black with gold reflects, perfect for nights where you wanna be more dressy and an awesome addition to re-vamping the "smokey look".

Not a lot of blending was needed since the smokey look is better when it's naturally messy and smokey.

Wow! This look is GORGEOUS! You look STRIKING with dramatic eyes. You eyes just POP! I really like that blush on you, it very "romantic" (LOL). I love your FOTDs! Make sure to post the pics from Las Vegas (pretty please?)!

i get it from my mom. she is anemic too. i would black out so much over the past 3 years. then sometimes i would feel myself blacking out, but i was conscious of what was going on, but i couldn't see anything but blackness. i would always be like, "please don't let me fall down and black out" and then i'd start coming back and i'd be okay. my mom says i'm probably anemic since i don't live at home anymore, cause she said when i lived at home, i was okay. it's probably true, cause i don't eat as much meat and greens as i should. i went vegetarian a while back. lol. that probably screwed up my whole body! is this something that i can get over or am i gonna always have to take iron pills?

omgosh i am sooo loving this look! everything go so well together! your face is super flawless! I was looking for a look like this for my boyfriend's formal but it's tonight and I don't have time to get the black ore :(

hey Nessa! Have you ever tried alima's foundation? theyre the only ones that seem to have a good match for me (both winter and summer) and their foundation brush #25 is the best brush I have ever used for mineral makeup!

uber gorgeous!!! agh, i only ordered Bronzescape and now you are making me want Black Ore too! well, i guess we're quits since i see you are loving Joppa! lol. i hope you get to finger on a matching shade this time! :D fabulous coverage indeed huh?!

this smokey look is awesome! i love the gold flecks in it. it really adds and extra kick to the regular somewhat-matte ish smokey look. i love shimmery smokey looks! this one makes you look uber sexy :D

some time ago I saw a similar information is very good, in which I learned a lot, if I am not mistaken the title was abdominoplasty surgery, I think it's good that people share this type of information over the Internet because it helps a lot
